Houston Nurse Residency Spring 2021

Published

Hello! I created this thread for those graduating in December who are applying to nurse residency programs in Houston for the Spring 2021 start date. Good luck everyone!!

For those of you that accepted offers from HCA, what is the process afterwards? Does the contract have to be signed immediately, or can you accept and still have the option of backing out if you receive an offer from a different facility? I'm nervous to accept since Harris Health doesn't appear to have even started their interviews, my application for my second choice at Hermann is still open, and I have been listed as an alternate for my 1st choice at Hermann; but I also don't want to turn the offer down in case I don't hear from anyone else. I'm so torn and my only hope is that maybe the contract doesn't have to be signed immediately.

I was told that it needs to be signed within 48 hours of receiving it.

Does anyone know if Methodist TMC is still interviewing for acute care areas. I had my pre screening interview but I haven’t received a follow up or rejection email. I also emailed Tracy but received no response?

I got an email from the recruiter with the offer letter. In the email it said "No need to sign and return, you will virtually sign your official copy when processing begins."

Oh awesome! I just got the offer email! I would love to stay in contact with you since we’ll be in the same unit and program if you’re open to that!

I am in the exact same position as you! They gave me 24 hrs to accept or decline my offer. However, I am still waiting on other hospitals as well (Harris County being one of them) . Did you get an answer about accepting the offer and possibly rejecting it later ?

I just went ahead and turned down the offer. It was the unit I wanted but it wasn't really a location I wanted to be at, so I decided it would be better to hold out for something else than to be stuck somewhere I didn't want to be for 2+ years. I did ask around though and my friend knows someone who accepted an offer with a HCA facility in Dallas and she said she doesn't have to sign the contract until January, so you might could expect something similar here. Also, just as a side note, from what I've read here on AN about HCA, in addition to paying back the prorated amount, some people have said you get blacklisted from ever working at a HCA facility again if you break the contract and that wasn't a chance I wanted to take so that played into my decision as well. If its a unit and location you want or can be happy with for the 2+ years though, then I don't see any harm in tentatively accepting the offer for now. Best of luck!
